SAFETY FIRST
Please read and follow these important instructions to help ensure your safety and the quality performance
of your Kasco equipment.
• LEDS19 kit is 120Vac and MUST be plugged into a GFCI protected receptacle or GFCI protected eld ter-
minal connections.
• LEDS19 xtures MUST be properly submerged (to mark on housing) to avoid overheating; insucient
submersion or operation out of water will damage xtures and void warranty.
• Use caution when dealing with any electrical and/or moving equipment.
• Under NO CIRCUMSTANCES should anyone enter the water with the electrical equipment plugged in
and/or in operation.
• Kasco WaterGlow lighting kits are intended for use with a Listed control panel having a GFCI protected
receptacle, or eld wiring terminals and disconnect switch, or a timer with a disconnect for use with a
GFCI receptacle. They are intended to be mounted on a oating fountain or aerator for use in a natural
or man-made body of water to comply with NEC Article 682.
• Kasco WaterGlow lighting kits have not been evaluated for use in swimming pools, spas or stationary
fountains.
• Use extreme caution around water, especially cold water, as in spring, fall, and winter, which poses a
hazard in and of itself.
• NEVER lift or drag the equipment by the power cords. If you need to pull the unit to the side of the pond,
use the anchoring ropes.
• Do not use boats that tip easily for lighting kit installation and follow all boating safety rules and regu-
lations, including wearing a PFD (Personal Flotation Device). Do not use waders in deep ponds/lakes or
ponds/lakes with drop-os, drastic slopes, or soft bottom material.
• For more information regarding your control panel instructions, refer to your equipment owner’s manu-
al. A control panel must be installed a minimum of 5 feet (3m in Canada) from the body of water unless
separated from the body of water by a fence, wall, or other permanent barrier that will make the unit
inaccessible to persons in the water. A complete list of control panels can be found in the Accessories
section of kascomarine.com.

MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDATIONS
Under NO CIRCUMSTANCE should anyone enter the water while a fountain is operating.
The following maintenance procedures can be utilized to ensure many years of quality performance from
your Kasco fountain and light kit and reduce the need for more costly repair work. Note that the LED
xtures are sealed and do not require any maintenance other than cleaning. Do not attempt to open light
xtures, as this will void the warranty.
Proper Installation
Installation of the LED light xtures on aerating fountain units with the mounting brackets oriented as
shown will ensure proper submersion of the light xtures. Each xture must be partially submerged in
order for lights to operate properly. Other applications for these xtures must provide at least the same
submersion to properly cool the xture. Operating the xtures out of water will damage the LED and void
warranty. Proper installation of Kasco equipment will include a power source with ground fault protection.
The control panel included with the equipment has built-in ground fault protection for both the fountain
and the lighting kit. Ground fault interrupters are a safety feature that can also alert you to electrical leaks
in the equipment. If you have repeat, consistent trips of the ground fault device, the equipment should
be disconnected and removed from the water. The power cord should be inspected for damage, and you
instructions. A complete list of control panels can be found in the Accessories section of kascomarine.com.
Observation
Operating equipment should be observed on a regular basis (daily, if possible) for any reduction or variation
in performance. If a change in performance is observed, the equipment should be disconnected from power
and inspected.
Winter Storage
In regions where there is signicant freezing in the wintertime, the light kit should be removed from the
water to protect it from the expansion pressure of ice. Storage over winter is best in a location that is out of
the sun and cool, but above 32° F.
Cleaning
Light kits should be removed from the water at least once per year (at the end of the season in cold
climates) to clean the exterior of the system. The light xture surfaces dissipate heat into the water, and
any algae, calcium, or other build-up will become an insulator that blocks heat transfer and may lead to
overheating and damage. Keeping the lenses clean will also ensure the brightest light possible.
TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS
The following is provided to help diagnose a probable source of trouble. It is a guideline only and may not
show all causes for all problems. For additional troubleshooting help, contact your local distributor or visit
kascomarine.com for additional guidance. Note: you may need to refer to your owner’s manual that was
provided with your fountain for additional control panel settings and adjustments.
“My light kit is installed and wired but will not turn on.”
Ensure control panel is connected to the electrical circuit. Verify circuit breakers, timers, and/or interlock
switches are turned on and functional. Refer to your owner’s manual that was provided with the fountain.
It may not be dark enough for the photo eye on the control panel to activate.

• Kasco C-25, C-85, and C-95 control panels have a photo eye on the left side of the enclosure exterior.
This photo eye measures ambient light. To activate, the photo eye must not measure any ambient light
for at least several minutes. Covering the photo eye with black electrical tape will activate the photo eye
for testing.
• C-25 control panel: The C-25 timer must be turned on (fountain operating) to allow the light circuit to
energize.
• C-85, or C-95 control panel with GFCI outlet and photo eye control: The fountain timer must be
turned on (fountain operating) to allow the light circuit to energize. While the photo eye is covered,
the GFCI outlet can be reset if tripped.
The timer may not be set properly.
• C-85, or C-95 control panel (and all 3phase fountain control panels) with terminal connections and
timer control for light kit: The control panel has a second timer for controlling the lights (no photo eye).
Ensure the light timer is set to operate the lights. The timer has a built-in Hand-O-Auto switch. Ensure
the switch is set properly. Ensure the fountain is turned on. The light timer will not energize the light kit
unless the fountain circuit is energized.
The GFCI may be tripped.
• C-25 control panel: Reset the GFCI. If the GFCI does not reset it could be a ground fault in the fountain
wiring, or the light kit wiring. Unplug both the fountain and light kit and reset the GFCI. If it resets, plug
fountain then light kit back in and see which one trips the GFCI. If the GFCI does not reset with both un-
plugged, then the GFCI may be defective.
• C-85, or C-95 control panel with GFCI outlet and photo eye control: To reset the GFCI outlet the fountain
timer must be turned on, and the photo eye must be activated. (Black electrical tape can be wrapped
around the photo eye to activate it.) Once these are on, the GFCI reset button can be pressed. (Unplug
the light kit prior.) Plug the light kit in and see if it operates. If the GFCI trips again then the light kit may
be damaged. If the GFCI does not reset (with light kit unplugged) then it may be defective, or the photo
eye is not activated to send power to the outlet.
• C-85, or C-95 control panel with terminal connections and timer control for light kit: For panels with a
GFCB (ground fault circuit breaker) and timer-controlled lights, simply reset the two-pole breaker. This
will turn the fountain and light kit back on if the timers are set to on. If it trips again, disconnect the light
kit from the terminals and reset. WARNING! You must turn o power to the panel before disconnecting
any wiring from the terminals. If the breaker trips with the light kit disconnected, then disconnect the
fountain as well and reset. If the breaker continues to trip it may be a defective GFCB. If the breaker
resets, then reconnect the fountain then the light kit to see which one trips the GFCB.
• 3phase fountain control panels: 3phase fountain panels have a ground fault sensing module that will
trip if either the light kit or fountain has a ground fault. To reset the module, simply press the reset
button in the panel. This will turn the fountain and light kit back on if the timers are set to on. If it trips
again, disconnect the light kit from the terminals and reset. WARNING! You must turn o power to the
panel before disconnecting any wiring from the terminals. If the GFI module trips with the light kit dis-
connected, then disconnect the fountain as well and reset. If the GFI module continues to trip it may be
a defective module or an internal wiring issue with the panel. If the module resets, then reconnect the
fountain then the light kit to see which one trips the module.
“My lights work, but they are not as bright as they were when rst installed.”
Dirty lenses may be to blame.
• Turn o power to the control panel and disconnect power cords to the fountain and the light kit. Bring
the fountain to the shore and inspect the light kit lenses. Over time, algae growth and hard water depos-
its on the lenses can block light output. Clean the lenses with a soft brush and the light should be bright
again.
